Quick Fruit Production.

We have received from the orchard of
VIM. Baker, at Lander's Station, above
Auburn, and at an altitude of 2,400 feet,
some excellent specimens of fruit. In
peaches, the samples were beautiful in
appearance, and almost matchless in
flavor. There were also samples of the
Kelsey variety of japanese plums, which
show extremely fine growth and success
full culture. All the fruit was picked from
trees that had been set out but sixteen
months. and grown without irrigation.
Unfortunately Mr.. Baker, in purchasing
from leading nurseryman, large num-
Der of plum trees for the Kelsey japanese,
finds that but small per cent. of them
prove true to name, and the others consist
of two or three worthless varieties.

American Enterprise.

No inYentiOp of the nineteenth cen
tury has worked a greater revolution in
household economy or conferred more
of q benefit on humanity than the sew
ing machine.
The first productions were crude and
uncouth in the extreme. and It was re-
served for America skin and ingenuity
to bring forth machine of any ppacti-
cal value.
In order to appreciate the great ad-
vancement which has taken place it is
only necessary to compare one of the
machines built during the infancy of the
invention with one of the latest impro-
we'd Light Running New Home"
All the really good points contained
in other machines have been utilized in
its construction Many new improve
ments and devices have also been added
the result Ofwhich is machine rs near
ly perfect rs it is possible to make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease of
management and capacity for work, the
Light Running New Home has no
rival, and the happy possessor Of one
may rest assured that he or she has the
very best the world affords. SEE AID.

Parsonage Sociable.

On Monday evening what was in
tended as a surprise party but what
was really a church sOciable was held
at the Methodist parsonage as a mani
festation of regard for the pastor, Rev.
J. B. Quigg and family, and was at
tended by over one hundred of the
members, the evening passing off pleas
antly to all concerned, the last of the
visitors not leaving until after midnight.
The company was composed largely of
young people. They brought a plen-
tiful supply Of chicken salad, biscuit,
coffee, bananas, oranges, cake and ice
cream. The family of Mr.. Quigg join
ed heartily with the visitors in making
a social evening of real hearty enjoy
ment which will leave pleasant memo
ries to all the participants.
A pleasant feature of the occasion
was graceful and deserved compli-
ment to Miss Grace Quigg of a hand
some gold watch and chain, which was
to her an unexpected surprise, but
none the less appreciated for this cause.
| While Miss Grace was seated at the
piano in the large parlor entertaining a
rot of young people musically inclined,
the room was called to order by J. c.
Lassell, who then in a neat little speech
presented the fair recipient with the
case that held the beautiful time-piece
She ackpOWled the compliment, (foi
such it was intended both as q personal
regard and as a recognition of the val
liable services she has in every possible
way rendered the church, in the bes
way she could in the midst of her sur
prise, the young friends coming TO hel

Making KentOn a Town

The people of Kenton are having Il
pretty warm time over an act of incor-
alton for that place, in regard to which
the people are divided. The Legisla-
tive correspondents Of the EUery EUening
of Thursday thus notes their visit to
the Capital:
"A delegation from Kenton was here
to-day to push the House bill for the
Incorporation of that town, and was
given a hearing before the commit
tee on interpretations. The bill is Op-
posed by Senator Cooper, but appears
to be favored by most of his fellow
! tOwnsmen. The senator took a very
earnest part in the discussion, in which
he was supported by Mr.. Graham and
opposed by all the others; it was these
two against the field. Mr. Cooper's
speech was not specially complimentary
to his town. It contained, he said, a
population of only $50, including men,
women, boys, girls and babies; it had
only doubled its population in % 0years
it was a mere crossroads, and it was
originally known as GrOgtown. He
was replied to spiritedly by Messrs
Moore, w. D. Wilds, Francis GreenYel
and others, who saw no good reason
why their town should not emerg,
from the crossroads stage if the inhabi
tants be empowered by the Legislator,
to pave their sidewalks, light thei
streets and fall in line with other incOr
porated towns"

The Kent Pomona Grange.

The Pomona Grange of Kent and
Sussex counties has divided into two,
each county having quarterly grange
of its own. The Kent Pomona met at
Camden on Thursday last. The atten-
dance was large and much interest
manifested in the business. ResOlu-
tions involving reform in the tax and
other laws were adopted and referred
to the Legislative Committee. The
question of returning empty peach
baskets was brought up and resolved
in free discussion of its merits. Rev.
J. S. Willis declared that the commits
sion merchants should be held respOn-
sible for the return of empties; that
| these merchants received a liberal com.
mission ten per cent.-and could af.
ford the trouble of collecting and ac
counting for baskets. ]. Colby Smith
a basket manufacturer, said that if the
peach crop of the Peninsula reached
100000 baskets or more, all the fac
tories could not manufacture enough
baskets to supply the demand, were NJ
empties returned. Jacob G. Brow
thought that no peaches should b
shipped on commission, and that deal
ers would consequently be forced t
come to the Peninsula and buy 70
cash, getting fruit and baskets, an
then they could do what they please
with empties. PeninsuLdr NelCS.

The constitutional question seems to
be in a fair way of strangulation at the
hands of its nurses. The Dover cor
respondent of the EUery Ecening thus
speaks of Mr.. HarringtOn's cOnstitu
tional convention bill, the last to be in
troduced
With regard to the latter measure
it is only another phase of the Obstruc-
ton programme how not to do it,
The honest truth Of the matter is that
neither office holders nor politicians
want convention. The ins fear that
the outs will make capital OH cOnstitu-
tional reform during this session of the
Legislature, and knowing the latter to
be insincerely advocating reform by
amendment will neither chance nor de-
sire of accomplishing anything practi-
cal, are determined that they will meet
them on the same platform and 90 tc
about the same length on the cOnven'
ton line. Possibly there may be
enough honest reformers who will kick
over the traces to pass a practical con
ventiOn bill, but if they do so it will be
very much to the ehagrin of those whC
are trying to lead them"
